Jo Whiley, 59, strips off for racy shoot as she reveals she achieved her six pack after turning to the gym to ‘save’ herself from debilitating menopause

As a dedicated fan of Jo Whiley, I can’t help but be utterly captivated by her remarkable journey and inspiring resilience. From her commanding presence as the host of BBC Radio One to her transformation through strength training, she has proven that age is truly just a number. Her courage in battling the challenges of menopause and anxiety, all while maintaining a balanced family life and a successful career, is nothing short of awe-inspiring.

Being the presenter of a beloved, decades-long BBC Radio One program, I’m no stranger to shouldering the weighty responsibilities that come with my vocal abilities.

However, Jo Whiley transformed her physique significantly by adopting strength training at the gym as a means of combating the potential challenges of menopause, resulting in a well-defined six-pack and toned arms.

The woman who is 59 years old expressed, “Menopause took a significant toll on me. I found myself constantly shedding tears. To be honest, I’m usually emotional, but during that period, it seemed like I was crying every single day. I simply felt incredibly drained.

Exercising at the gym and building my strength have significantly contributed to shaping who I am today. In many ways, it’s been a lifesaver for me.

In a striking red sports bra and underwear, Whiley, a mother of four (India, Jude, Cassius, and Coco) who is married to music executive Steve Morton, showcased her toned physique on the cover of Women’s Health magazine.

The BBC Radio Two host additionally disclosed that contrary to what one might think, her life in the ’90s wasn’t all about parties, substances, and music; instead, she struggled with anxiety while performing live in front of big audiences.

She confessed, “One time on stage, I was absolutely terrified. I felt like I couldn’t continue, it seemed absurd. It was becoming preposterous. My fear was overwhelming, making a huge impact on my life.

‘But then I realised how happy it was making people when I do these gigs and that was a game changer.’

In just her undergarments, Ms. Whiley seized the moment to voice her concerns about the prevalent culture of “men’s lifestyle magazines” – periodicals popular during the ’90s and early 2000s that catered to men, often showcasing women in their lingerie as well.

The BBC presenter said: ‘There was so much objectification and judgment of women and their bodies. 

‘It was a ludicrous time to be a woman, but I just kept my head down and weathered the storm.’ 

‘I think [the current generation of girls] is still dealing with a lot.

‘There are so many crises and so much pressure and so much to worry about in the world. 

However, an unyielding troop of confident women, utterly unfazed by fear, refuse to compromise, and they assertively forge their own paths, which is undeniably more wholesome.

Last summer, I heaved a grateful sigh as I wrapped up another successful year of presenting at Glastonbury, having recovered from temporarily losing my voice.

The presenter lost her voice just two hours into the five-day festival but continued to soldier through – despite BBC viewers expressing their concern. 

Jo shared on Instagram a summary of her festival experience and gave credit to the medical staff at the event, who enabled her to carry on as the Glastonbury host since 1997.

2024’s Glastonbury Festival was quite the thrilling ride! It was incredibly joyful to attend, and an honor to help broadcast it for everyone through the BBC Glastonbury team.

‘Something I will never take for granted and I hope you enjoyed watching. So much joy and talent on those stages. The next week will be divided between watching all the performances on @bbciplayer and @wimbledon.

Experiencing hoarseness just two hours into Glastonbury was an unforeseen complication that added a level of difficulty, but I’m incredibly thankful for the helpful suggestions, home remedies, and soothing honey and lemon. A big shout-out goes to Jim, the festival medic, who stepped in to help me during my radio show yesterday!

I recently visited two of my children briefly, and it felt fantastic – like a little piece of heaven. It seems the entire WM group and companions managed to explore many parts of the festival. I’m not exactly excited about the post-Glastonbury blues and mountains of laundry… does anyone else feel the same?!!!

I’d like to extend a heartfelt gratitude to my extraordinary Glastonbury radio and television clan. Your tireless effort, affection, encouragement, and behind-the-scenes magic have truly been the lifeblood of our shared endeavor. From the intricate coordination to the long drives, from the mesmerizing face painting to the captivating costumes you donned, every bit has added a unique sparkle to our journey together. Thank you for being such an integral part of this incredible adventure.
